The places of railroad strikers are being supplied in New York by foreigners. The New York, Lake Erie & Western have employed 830 Jews. The Sioux City Journal says the West Point young bloods play base ball on the Sabbath. That's nothing new; the boy6 up this way do the same thing. W. T. Harris recently called to the Chancellorship of the Nebraska University, from previous engage ment has been compelled to decline the position. The first car of new wheat was re- ceived at Kansas City one day last week from Winfield, Kausas. It weighed 60 pouuds to the bushel, and was sold for .fl.LSj. An arrest was made in County Cork, Ireland, the other day, of the alleged driver of the car which con veyed the Phoenix Park assassins to (be scene of their crime. W. L. Clark, editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Rejtublican, was cowhided the other day by a witness in a murder trial, whose testimony he unfavorably criticised. Dr. Mary F.

In Germany a wine merchant was fined recently 10,000 marks aud his entire stock was confiscated for the offense of selling wine made of other ingredients than the iuice of the grape. No less than two hundred and fifty ejectment decrees have recently been obtained against small tenants in Cou neara, Ireland. If the decrees are carried out 2,000 persons will be homeless. An exchange publishes the follow ing: ''A woman in LaurenceviHc, Quebec, seventy years old, recently gave birth to a child, who bids fair to live to comfort its parents in their 'declining years. ' " Mrs. M. M. Symms of New Orleans has met with more than ordinary success at Bilk culture. Cocoons find ready sale at $3 per pound. The lady finds the leaves of the white mullber ry the best food for the worms. A report last week from Fort Mc Kinney, Wyo., says there are three thousand Crow Indians between the Tongue and Powder rivers. They are very insolent and are killing cattle. Trouble is apprehended at any mo ment. A young man named Dclaire was arrested the other day at Polk City, Iowa, on suspicion of being the mur derer of Mayor Stubbs last April. Dclaire stated the Mayor was killed by a desperado from Missouri named Weekes. An exchange tells the following: "At Risiug, Minn., during the recent storm at that place a mass of ice or ponderous hailstone, weighing twenty-seven pounds, plowed its way through the roof and floor of a dwelling." The Nebraska editorial association has decided to leave Lincoln July 18 and take in Salt Lake, Denver and Soda Springs. They go over the Un ion Pacific railroad with a special Pullman car. It will take about two weeks to make the trip. It is stated that the mystery con cerning the death of Zeoa Watkins, of Denver, whose body was found in the Mississippi river below St. Louis, is heightened by her father looking for a Denver gambler, with blood in his eye and a loaded revolver. In 1S79 Rickly's bank at Columbus, Ohio, was robbed of $26,000 in bonds. About a year ago the bonds were sent to Columbus from New York for col lection. After months of negotiating, the owners have obtained one-half of the bonds and a clue to the robbers. The bill introduced by Senator Van Wyck to settle the title to homestead lauds in a number of counties in Ne braska claimed by the St. Joseph and Western road as embraced in the land grants, passed the senate the other day as reported from the committee. Two women at Penfield, Ga., at the close of the war began farming, with an old blind horse. Now they own a good plantation well stocked, and have eighteen or twenty bales of cot ton on hand. One attended to the farm while the other managed the household affairs. It is stated that five to six thousand persons are suffering for food in Pat rick county, Virginia. All the corn aud other provisions are exhausted, and there are not five bushels of grain in the hands of any one except the distribution committee. Relief will come with the harvest. The citizens of Kearney were jubilant the other day over the fact that thirty thousand dollars in bonds had been voted to aid the Kearney Canal Company in the construction of a canal. Work on the canal is to be cdmmenced at once, and to be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. Two young couples of Coshocton, Ohio, thought it would bo a roman tic idea to elope down the river to Marietta by moonlight in a rowboat. The trip was only hair made, how ever, when the men were arrested for stealing the boat, and the girls were sent home alone and unmarried Inter-Occa?i. A professor who got very angry at the interruptions of a workingman while he was explaining the opera tion of a machine in a factory, strolled away in a huff and asked another man, "who is that fellow that pretends to know more about that instrument than I do?" Oh, he's the man that invented it," was the answer. Henry W. Forbes, reported sick at New Orleans the other day with the yellow fever, recently died with the black vomit. Every house within two blocks of the one in which he was takeu sick has been disinfected, and a meeting of the State Board of Health, held to consider the case, and prevent a spread of the disease. They have a way down in Virginia of selling tramps to the highest bid der, under a vagrancy law, and then putting them to work on a railroad. We have not looked into the laws of Nebraska with a view to ascertain what provisions they contain upon this subject. The laws of this state may be ample to reach the case. Jonathan Hibbard, a town herder at Liucoln, Neb., had a dispute with McChurchy, a negro, about the herd er's cows trespassing on the negro's garden patch, when the herder struck him over the head with a whip; the negro retreated to the house, pro cured a pistol and shot the herder through the abdomen inflicting a mortal wound. Ciaiteaa. Charles J. Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield was banged in pursuance of the judgment and order of the court, within the prison walls at Washington City, D. C, Friday, June 30tb, '82, at 12:40 o'clock, by Warden Crocker. There was a slight rattle as the bolt was drawn. The trap fell and bis person suddenly shot downward and came to a stop with a terrible jerk. The rope creaked as it stretched, but it stood the test. A shout arose on the outBide of the jail, but all in side was silent. The figure which a moment before was above the platform, was now dangling below it, swinging slowly around. The knees were con vulsively lifted two or three times, but otherwise no sign of a struggle could be seen. After turning half way round several times the body be came still, with the face toward the west. At the expiration of three min utes the body was lowered far enough so that the physicians, Drs. Young and McDonald, could feel the pulse aud action of the heart. Life was not extinct for folly seventeen minutes. At 1 :15 o'clock the body was lowered into the coffin, which had been placed directly below it. His right hand was placed over his breast and the left arm along his side. The black cap was takeu off and persons who re mained in the corridor were permit ted to file by and look at the face. It looked natural though it had the hue of death. A slight stream of froth was issuing from the mouth and nose. Around the neck was a slight discol oration, produced by the noose, but that was all. After the body was viewed, the lid was put on the coffin and six men carried it up stairs into the prison chapel, where autopsy wbb to bo held. J. W. Guiteau and Rev. Dr. Hicks were present for a short time, but left the jail before the conclusion of the autopsy, and re turned to the city abont 3 o'clock. The physicians who performed the autopsy were N. L. Lamb, J. F. Hart igan and Z. L.-Cowen. A close ex amination of the body showed Gui teau's neck broken, and that the rope had cut deep into the flesh of the neck. His brain was found to be in a normal condition, and weighed 49 ounces. The heart weighed a little over nine ounces and was in a healthy condition, aB were all other internal organs. His body was given to Dr. Hicks with the approval of his friends, and no one now knows where it will be interred. We notice that no relations of the doomed man were present to witness- bis execution except his brother, John W. Guiteau, who was admitted to the jail, and was present in the rotunda when his brother was executed, and his Bister, Mrs. Scoyille, who was not admitted to the jail, but remained in her carriage outside while her brother was being banged. Five thousand persons, three fourths of whom were colored, gath ered about on the bills surrounding the jail, and though they could see no more where they had collected than if a mile away, were perfectly con tented to remain until the word came out "Guiteau is dead." After the body had been removed, and perfect order reigned, the mili tary guard, on duty at the jail ever since the 2d of last March, moved away and were loudly cheered as they left. As to a CoBgretMieaal Coavea tiea. It seems necessary that some au thority should make the first move. It has been suggested that delegates elected to the state convention do the double duty of nominating for con gress and state offices of course only delegates from the several congres sional districts voting for congress men. This is open to the objection that it would give one of the best of opportunities to office-seekers for making trades and "tie-ups," and be virtually the same as nominating congressmen on the general ticket. Those who favored the redistricting of the state (a sentiment so over whelming as to demand an extra session of the legislature), would op pose this method. Another suggestion is nearer the mark, viz : that " the state central committee fix the time and place for the holding of the meeting of the chairmen of the county committees, for the purpose of calling congres sional primaries and district conven tions." The Lincoln Journal remarks of this that "it is unnecessary, though it would not be specially obnoxious," and suggests a better way, which, it seems to us, being the customary method, is open to no serious objec tion, viz: "the chairman of the cen tral committee of the first county named in the apportionment bill in ach district to call a meeting of the chairmen of county committees in his district, and that meeting to fix the time and .place of the district conven tion, and apportion the delegates thereto." This is free from the objection that there is outside interference, that men are meddling in things that don't belong to them, which is surely sound political conduct. Satisfactory, The following explains itself, and the explanation explains : The following from the Atchison Champion is respectfully referred to Regent Gere for such correction as it may appear to our confrere the editor to call for ; "President Fairfield hav ing been eliminated from the Nebras ka university because he was too nncomfortably pious, his place has been supplied by Prof. William T, Hrrria, of St Louis, whose religion is understood only by himself and one or two gentlemen at Concord, Massa chusetts. Omaha Republican. We don't know how a higher com pliment could well be paid to a man than to admit that he understands bis owu religion. Lincoln Journal, Parasite. There was a man in town last week that "bagged" more game than any hunter could have douc in the same length of time. He "caught" lots of "suckers" for a card on a bag directory for which they paid a good round price, aud we guess there is not one in a thousand who will read them, while the same amount expended in judicious localizing wonld hare reach ed ten thousand raadera. Grand Is land Independent. Well enough aaid. Newspaper ad vertising is now recognized among all good business men as the way of making your wants and wishes known, and those fellows that thrive on the credulity of the public are to the printing fraternity as parasites when allowed to live and work. The whole tribe ought to receive the pass ing attention of the fraternity, along with the skinners from the city offices, who furnish certain lines of their work at bare cost as baits for heavy deals, thus raking in from the various small communities of the state hun dreds of dollars that legitimately, properly, and, at fair prices, belong to the local trade. We see complaints in our state cotemporaries, now and then, that parties will send away for job work that can be done about as well and abont as cheap, at home, may be a little less fanciful or a few cents higher in price, but not enough to justify express and extra trouble, when at the same timo such parties will expect every transaction of theirs to have due mention by the local press. It would be only fair to tell such to have their job office at St. Louis, Des Moines, Chicago or New York mention their little transactions in the local papers of those places. A nice state of affairs, indeed, would it be in a community, if all would act on the same principle, and buy their wares abroad the grocers, their dry goods and carpets ; the merchants and hotel-keepers, their groceries, provis ions aud furniture; the builders and contractors, their lumber and lime, and so on to the end of the chapter. This system would tend to build a town np at a very rapid pace ! and it would be such desirable place to live in, so generous ! so magnauimous ! so public spirited! so altogther lovely! Let every branch of business protect itself and the public against the dead beats and peddlers, and conduct their own business on straight, fair busi ness principles, and there will not be so much complaining. If Pericles Epaminondas Platonicus wants to advertise himself as a maker of soaps or of statutes let him do so, if you choose, at the usual rates for other commercial advertising, taking care, however, to so mark it that the way faring man may not mistake it for anything but "business ;" if the Con solidated, Double - Acting, Triple Backed, Multiplex, Guano Transpor tation Co. patronize the job printing office of Similaricus of Chicago, that is no reason why it 6bould ask or ex pect gratuitous little "courtesies" from the local press in the name of build ing up home enterprises. The Journal is exceedingly glad that it don't live and move and have its being in any such atmosphere, and that more and more, every week, and year by year, it is being demonstrated in Columbus and Nebraska as well, that business is business, in printing just the same as in farming, mer chandizing or manufacturing "you pay your money and you take your choice," and when the brotherhood cease to beg, the better will it be for all. The public partly know that your venture is a private busiuess matter of your own, requiring con siderable means and ability to carry it forward successfully, just as it does for the grocer, merchant, landlord, lawyer, banker, etc., and they will all soon learn that your right to lease your newspaper space is the same as the farmer's right to sell the use of his growing grass, and will be disposed to treat you as a man among men. m The Lincoln Journal says: The Omaha Republican is emphatically opposed to holding the district con gressional conventions at the same time and place of the state conven tion. The Journal is also opposed to such a thing. But we don't happen to remember to have heard that any body purposed or proposed any such extraordinary proceeding. As to the state central committee fixing the time and place for holding of the meetings of the chairman of the county committees, for the purpose of calling congressional primaries and district conventions, eyen this is un necessary, though it would not be specially obnoxious. The custom haB been in the caBe of new senatorial and representative districts formed by a reapportionment, for the chairman of the central committee of the first county named in the apportionment bill in each district to call a meeting of the chairmen of county com mittees ip bfs district, and that meet ing fixed, the time and place of pri mary elections and the time and place of the district convention, and ap portioned the delegates thereto. Lo cal organisations in Nebraska haye always been jealous of the interfer ence of the state central committee, and that body has never assumed the political power in this state, usually conceded to older communities, Gababaldi, in the conree of his ad venturous life, received ten wounds. Two wounds in the neck and throat, at first believed to be mortal, were received in 1835, in Uruguay, in a sea fight against the Dictator; two wounds in the right arm at the sea fight of Rio Plata, in 1836 every offi cer and man near Garabaldi being killed or wounded ; one wound in the abdomen, on April 30, 1849, while fighting against the French on the Janiculum. The wonnd was not dan gerous but was excessively painful, and Garabaldi concealed his suffer ings until the battle was over. On May 8, 1849, at Velletri, he was knock ed off bis horse by the Neapolitans, and trampled on. He received one bayonet aud one sword wouud, and was rescued by a baud of mere boys who were engaged in the fight. On Aug. 29, 1862, he was wounded in the thigh by oue of the Royal Bersaglieri. A second bullet, rebounding, broke the ankle bone and remained in the wouud. When extracted it exactly resembled in shape a cap of liberty. On July 4, 1866, on his birthday, Gar abaldi wail hit in the Tyrol by an Austrian bullet, it was a flesh wound In the thigh. Ex. Recently, fearful wind, rain and hail stormH were reported in an unusual large number of localities throughout the United States, doing more or less damage at every place visited. Philosophers, astronomers and weather prophets appear to be at their wits end, and can give no reason for the storms and coudition of the weather. No statement as to the causes producing bucIi a state of af fairs seems more reasonable than the disturbed condition of the sun' and the movement of the comet. It is claimed that the sun is in a fearful condition from the effects of several burning volcanoes which it is believed has so increased the heat of the at mosphere by which it is surrounded as to affect the atmosphere of thejearth, and thus in connection with the movement of the comet, which aids, by its attractions to distribute this heated atmosphere to other planets. A correspondent of the Omaha Republican writing from Washington says He met a citizen from Nebraska who has some reputation for being rather smart in home politics, -nnd who expressed the opinion that the congressional slate in the State of Nebraska was Manderson, Nance and Valentine for congress, and he has quite a notion of espousing the can didacy of Thayer for the senate. No politician now living in Nebraska, with all his political astuteness, can do more than simply guess at what may happen in the way of candidates and final results, as present indica tions point to a woful mixture of things, which experienced politicians do not seem to comprehend. The recent wind, rain and hail storm that passed through portions of Polk, Butler, Saunders and Douglas counties appears to have done the most damage in Butler, Saunders and Douglas. The crops in the course of the storm in Butler and Saunders counties are badly cut to pieces and will not likely recover from the in jury. The young corn will possibly recover but will be set back. Several buildings in both these counties were blown down aud others wrecked. The damage done to property in Omaha by the wind, hail and rain will reach $200,000. An immense amount of damage was done by water flooding cellars in the city limits. Lincoln Journal'. The action of the regents of the university towards a reorganization of the faculty, seems to meet with the general approval of the Btate press, though there are occa sional exceptions. The most notica ble exceptions are from newspapers in Crete, York and Hastings, that ed itorially declare that the university has "been given over to the infidels." There is, perhaps no connection be tween this singular view of the case and the fact that at Crete and York there are denominational colleges already established, and oue has quite recently been located in Hastings. Local enterprise would hardly go as far as this we hope. The following clause was found in the will of a Yorkshire rector : "See ing that my daughter Anne has not availed herself of my advice touching the objectional practice of going about with her arm bare up to the elbows, my will is that, should she contiuue after my death in this viola tion of the modesty of her sex, all the goods, chattels, money, lands and all other things that I have devised to her for the maintenance, of her future life shall pass to the eldest son of my sister Caroline. Should any ono take exception to this as being too severe, I answer that license in the dress of a woman is a mark of a depraved mind." Ex.

"A little fun now and then Is rel ished by the best of -men," but why should brother Gere not want the "amusing" paragraphs marked ? Plattsmoutu Journal: Steps are being taken now to secure the estab lishment in this oity of an immense manufacturing enterprise, with a capital of upwards of $200,000, which will give employment to 800 or 1,000 men. We are not permitted just now to give the nature of the enter prise, but the next six months will determine whether or not it will be opened here or elsewhere. The Journal should not bide its light under a bushel, but at once give the enterprise to the public. Quees Victoria on the 21st ult., completed the forty-fifth year of her reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. But three sovereigns of Great Britain have exceeded her term Henry III., Edward III , and George HJ.f-but neither tbelr meas ures or themselves were popular and they left naught but curses behind them. Victoria's reign has been a beneficient one, and most of the re forms have been proposed and con summated during her reign. OUR NElGIlfJOKS. Polk County. From the O.ceoU Record. Sunday uioruiug, 6 o'clock, a cyr clone, passing nearly due eaat, struck Osceola. It was conaued to narrow limits. The posts at the Fair ground were torn off as if they were reedp, and the Floral Hall was completely demolished The hail accompanying the storm did considerable damage, especially in Pleasant Home, Hack berry, Canada and Osceola precincts, the loss to crops being estimated at 25 per cent. Mrs. Leatherby was knocked down by a hailstone. G. B. Darlington and G. M. Van Vorce each had a cow killed. H. W. Kennard picked up a pan full of hailstones which averaged the size of goose eggs. Hailstones went through the roof of Geo. Mickey's corn crib inch boards. Peter Adrian's house near Braiuard was blown down, his two children, a boy and girl, killed, aud the parents so injured that death is imminent. Batler County. From tho Press. At Risiug, houses were unroofed and blown from their foundations. Tho dwelling of John Boans was blown from its foundation, and Mrs. B. had her ankle broken by a falling chimney. Southeast of Rising huge chunks of ice were sent through the roofs of a number of houses. Hail stones as large as a pint cup fell to the depth of 8 or 10 inches. Near this place occurred the catastrophe to Mr. Adrian and family, mentioned else whore the right side of his face, even to the part of a bono, was torn away ; his lower jaw was mashed iuto a jelly. J In the eastern part of the county on the farm of J. T. McKnight, the hail was found in drifts two and a half feet deep tho next morning, 24 hours after the storm. The crops are almost wholly destroyed through the center of the belt over which the storm passed, while either side is more or less injured. All small grain will bo an entire failure for at least four miles wide through the center, while corn will recover to some ex tent. The Press concludes by saying that a half million dollars will hardly repair the damage to Butler couuty. From the Republican. Tho bond case, in which Butler county is interested to the amount of over $60,000, and in which judgment was rendered in favor of the tax payers at the last term of our district court, by his Honor Judge Post, was carried to the supreme court and the judgment of the lower court has been sustained. This makes us leel good. If the army worms were gnawing up the crops of Kausas or Nebraska instead of Ohio, bow our older breth ren East would have remarked upou "the uncertainties and precariousneBB of farming interests in the West." Storms and lightning, worms and grasshoppers, and floods are not con fined to Western prairies, and multi tudes will continue to seek the fertile acres of the West rather than spend a life among the bleak hills and worn out lauds of the East. Inter-Ocean. The roroLAR vekdict: There will be several bad cases of Guiteau hysteria this week; but the public mind has long since weighed all the evidence, and is fully made up. It regards the assassin as an unbalanced, vicious man, deficient of moral sense, but wholly capable of judging be tween right and wrong. If any man for his crimes ever deserved death and infamy, Guiteau does. This is the verdict of 50,000,000 people Inter-Ocean. Mrs. Emma B. Knight canvassed Inavale precinct, Webster county, Neb., for signers to the petition ask ing men to eote for the impartial suf frage amendment, and out of thirty women seen in one day, twenty-nine signed it. Notwithstanding this fact, we presume the opponents of womau suffrage in that precinct will still maintain that "women do not want to vote." Woman's Journal. The ten thousand school ma'am?, who go down the highways of Iowa every morning with linen aprons on, and with the love of liberty and truth in their hearts, who havo made Iowa what it is, more than any other dozen forces in it, would take any state in the South and make its .citizens liberal, intelligent, progressive, re fined, and republican in ten years.
